5.00The tour of Ephesus was incredibly interesting. Our guide, Ismael, is a wonderful person with extensive knowledge of the country’s culture and history. He was very kind and respectful at all times. We felt comfortable and very safe throughout the visit. Many thanks to Ismael for his dedication — we will definitely recommend him to any friends or family visiting Turkey. Thank you again!

5.00Incredible experience, very thoughtful guide. Dilek A. was a fantastic good paced speaker walking us through the history of Ephesus at a perfect speed. Finished with a fantastic meal cooked by locals. Would recommend for anyone coming to Kusadasi on or not on a cruise. I would not do Ephesus without a guide because you have to wait to read all the signs which have crowds around them.
Excellent tour. Guide...
